An advance on your pending lawsuit.
Nothing owed if the case doesn't win.
Pre-settlement funding for personal injury cases with an attorney. It's not a loan: it comes out of the settlement, and only the settlement.
Before you sign.
Know where you stand.
Pre-settlement funding is money paid to you while your case is still open.
Read the disclosuresFor non-recourse funding
If your lawsuit doesn’t pay, you owe nothing.
No settlement or court award? You owe Cherokee nothing under your funding agreement.
Non-recourse in most states
For non-recourse funding, what you owe comes only out of a settlement or court award in your lawsuit. In South Carolina, the product is offered as a supervised consumer loan.
Costs disclosed in writing
Your written agreement states the funded amount, charges and payoff terms before you sign.
Your attorney confirms first
We review your case with your attorney, who acknowledges the funding before money is issued.

Your attorney stays
in charge of your case
We confirm your case with your attorney before funding. Your attorney acknowledges the funding, and your written agreement explains the payoff. Cherokee does not direct your legal claim.
No attorney yet? An attorney must represent you before you apply. A state or local bar association lawyer-referral service can help you find one. Cherokee does not recommend or select a specific attorney.
